Several parents and players on the Westbury HS team allege players in Bellaire's dugout made monkey noises and used racial slurs toward the team's pitcher, who is Black.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The long-time head baseball coach for Bellaire High School has been placed on paid leave following allegations of racist taunts by some of his players at a recent varsity baseball game.
"They're in an uproar right now on what's going in Bellaire," said HISD trustee Myrna Guidry, whose district includes Westbury High School."When the children on the Westbury team went on to the field, the children who were on the Bellaire team were making extreme monkey noises and sounds, and animal sounds."
Ozuna's lawyers, who say they are representing the coach pro bono, released a statement, saying in part: House urged all sides to be patient as the investigators gather all the facts, which is expected to take some time. However, as seen in the video that's circulated widely between both schools, few parents are calm about the situation involving their kids.
